MBC ATHLETICS COLLECTS 376 CANS FOR BLUE RIDGE AREA FOOD
BANK

Staunton, VA - The Mary Baldwin College Athletic Department
collected 376 cans this fall as they participated in the USA South

was initiated in 2004 by the USA South Student-Athlete Advisory
Committee (SAAC) members in order to help make a happier holiday in
their communities.

SAAC organized the canned food drive as a community service
competition amongst the ten institutions in the USA South. Each
campus SAAC collected cans and other non-perishable items at their
school to benefit a local charity.

Overall, the USA South institutions collected a
Conference-record 64,477 items, shattering the old record set last
year by 35, 174. Over the seven-year history of the program, USA
South Conference institutions have donated 178,704 items to various
organizations
